Schoellkopf Power Plant Ruins
🎟️ Attraction in Little Italy, Chippawa, ON
Schoellkopf Power Plant Ruins are located in Little Italy and offer a glimpse of the historic hydroelectric facilities that once powered nearby mills and later generated electricity. The site includes remnants from three distinct phases built between 1853 and 1924, with the final structure standing until its collapse in 1956.
Something unique: The first station used water falling from the upper river height before the falls to drive turbines for mills.
